Usually priced at $299.99, for a limited time only, the ZTE Axon 7 Mini can be yours for as low as just $249. For the Ion Gold and Platinum grey variants, Best Buy will be offering a $50 discount starting this Sunday. Not a bad deal, but make sure to get your order in before the deal ends on the 10th!

Just as a quick refresher, the ZTE Axon 7 Mini is a smaller version of the Axon 7 (duh), but it is by no means small. With a 5.2-inch AMOLED display with a FHD resolution, the device is a tiny bit bigger than most flagships out there, including the Galaxy S7. However, it does boast very thin bezels, and design wise, I must admit, it’s a stunning phone to look at.

Inside, we find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 617 processor coupled with 3GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, and a beefy 2,705mAh battery. On the back is a 16-megapixel phase detection AF camera, and on the front is an 8-megapixel selfie shooter. Indeed, the phone does have a microSD slot and the good old 3.5mm headphone jack.
